Titanium will do a much better job than pvc.

The Glycol chiller IS a regular phase change chiller with a GLYCOL loop and pump attached to it. The loop can be run long distances to cool remote objects (like beer taps, or multiple laser diodes, etc). You would simply run the glycol through the Ti heat exchanger. They are less efficient than a direct cooling chiller. The benefit is the capability to cool remote items without having to use remote evaporators.

Can I have an example of a direct cooling chiller that you would recommend?

Really the issue is just cost, Im putting down 3.5K maybe 4k already and thats for just the tank, stand, sump, pumps and Lighting, live sand and rock.

I'm not the knowledgeable one in this chiller stuff, would this likely be "enough" to do 10 degree's perhaps, that would put me in a safe zone with room to wiggle round.

I want to have some budget left for stocking the tank lol

You would need to know the capacity of the chiller. How Many BTU's is it? What type of duty cycle is it rated for?

 

[borillion_star]

I didnt even think of that in my excitement of seeing a cheap price :O

I haven't had any luck figuring out the stuff, he's 2 hours away and its kinda a far drive to look at the thing.....meh anyone have a clue, I can tell it has a double C logo thats it.

He knows they were used for chilling lasers. He just buys and sells stuff on the side.
